jQuery UI - Autocomplete with extra params - returned data - json

Question

All,
I've moved on to using the ui autocomplete rather than the plugin, took me a while to figure out extra params based on an example I found here, but that part works.
I'm having problems with dealing with the return data. In the code below I can alert out the title being returned, but I get a drop down of 'UNDEFINED' in the browser.
Thanks in advance.
$('#DocTitle').autocomplete({
source: function(request, response) {
$.ajax({
url: "index.pl",
dataType: "json",
data: {
Title: request.term,
maxRows: 10
},
success: function(data) {
response($.map(data, function(item) {
alert(item.TITLE);
return {
TITLE: item.TITLE
}
}))
}
})
}
});

I am using jquery UI autocomplete as follows and it is working quite fine for me. You may try on the similar lines.
$('input[type=text][name=City]').autocomplete({
source: function(request, response) {
$.getJSON($('input#CitySuggestionsLink').val(), {
term: request.term,
stateId: $('select#StateName option:selected').attr('value')
}, response);
},
search: function() {
// custom minLength
var term = this.value;
if (term.length < 1) {
return false;
}
},
delay: 200,
focus: function() {
// prevent value inserted on focus
return false;
},
select: function(event, ui) {
return false;
}
});
